We left Flamingo once again – broke camp after a short bike ride and another trip to Eco Pond to say good-bye to the birds. This time we were serious about heading north. Most of the day was spent driving. We were headed to Cocoa Beach to connect up with some friends. Timing worked out well and we managed to be there in time to go to church with them. We went out to eat and then enjoyed the evening at their beach house. Their hospitality was wonderful. We actually slept in a regular bed, not a air mattress for the first time in three weeks. It was good to share time and break bread with friends. We toyed with the idea of spending a few more days camping at Jetty Park in Cocoa Beach since there was to be a space launch on Wednesday night. Whatever the reason we took off, it just seemed like the right thing to do. We spend Monday night at Amicalola Falls State Park in GA. This is where the AT begins. Where we dropped Clair off in ’03 and Jerry off in 2010. It was a foggy night not much to see or do but again we did have a real bed to sleep in. Up bright and early on Tuesday brought us home by 5:00 in the afternoon, a day before the awful storms that closed 75 in GA.
It is good to be home. We’re still moving kind of slow. It was an awe-some trip for which we are so very grateful. I understand the snow-bird people a little more now.
Until next time...
